The Comedy of Errors takes the Bard's classic tale and adds songs with music by Guy Woolfenden and lyrics by Trevor Nunn. The standard plot twist of mistaken identity and twins run rampant in the comedy as Antipholus and his servant Dromio set out on a quest to find their long-lost brothers. The original production of this version played at The Royal Shakespeare Company in 1976.
